Imagine a 7 foot tall, muscular, monster looking humanoid of sorts, wielding a sword the length
of a car, with a metal triangle shaped helmet, coming to kill you.
Unfortunately, that would be a very real and scary possibility, if Pyramid Head wasn’t
just a fictional character from the Silent Hill series.
But as you know here on Life’s Biggest Questions, we like to explore these crazy ideas of fictional
monsters, or characters, becoming a part of our day to day lives, and most likely destroying
the human race.
So join us as we explore what if Pyramid Head was real?
How’s it going guys I’m your host Jarred Bronstein and welcome to another video.
Today we’ll be talking about Pyramid Head, and what his existence in the real world would
mean for us.
Before we do make sure to subscribe, click the bell icon to never miss a video, and of
course give this video a thumbs up if you do enjoy it.
As always, we got some bonus content coming up after we conclude our video, but for now
let’s jump right into it.
So what exactly is Pyramid Head?
Well the answer to that varies depending which version we’re talking about.
Although for the most part, the film version and video game version of Pyramid Head do
have a lot of similarities, they also have quite a few differences.
One of those differences is height.
In the game, Pyramid Head is the same height as James, the game’s main character.
But in the film, he seems to be about 7 feet.
Probably one of the biggest differences between games and films is the helmet Pyramid Head
wears.
Although they look similar, the film’s director explained when they tried using an exact replica
of the video game’s helmet, the actor playing Pyramid Head wasn’t very mobile.
Because of this, they slightly changed the helmet for film.
The film also exposes his torso, which appears to be made up of human flesh sewn together.
And lastly, in the film Pyramid Head appears to have individual fingers, whereas in the
game, he appears to have a palm fused together of sorts.
Something that does appear to be consistent across both the game and film series is that
the helmet appears to be painful for one to wear.
The film’s version of Pyramid Head, is also known as Red Pyramid.
He’s 7 feet tall, has an insanely massive sword, is made up of muscle and apparently
sewn human flesh.
What the hell is this thing?
Who knows really, clearly an abomination of some kind.
One thing is certain.
The way this thing kills is extremely gruesome.
Throughout the film, he of course can be seen trying to use his sword, if you’d even call
it that, to stab or cut.
However, later in the film, he can be seen grabbing a woman by her throat.
Ripping off her clothes with one hand.
And then ripping off all of the skin on her body, as if it were a second layer of clothes.
Now I doubt any of you guys have ever tried to physically rip your flesh off.
And I certainly hope you never have to experience that.
But do you understand how physically strong you must be to rip off someone’s flesh from
their body?
I mean I know I said the guys jacked but this is next level.
So how could we possibly stop this thing?
Interestingly enough though, when Pyramid Head gets shot by bullets they seem to affect
him.
Which is great because maybe we could simply shoot and kill him and problem solved.
Unfortunately, it may not be that easy.
For starters, I’ve been referring to Pyramid Head as a singular person or being, when in
reality, it’s not.
The film’s director Christophe Gans explained there is not one particular or exclusive manifestation
of him as an entity.
And also suggested that Pyramid Head was one of the executioners in the original history
of the town.
And with that coming from the director himself, well it changes things for us a little bit.
Based on the information as per the film’s director, I think a safe assumption to make
about Pyramid Head is that he’s a ghost of sorts.
Maybe not your classic ghost that has a see through body or can’t be physically touched,
but more so a ghost or demon of sorts that haunts people who come through it’s home.
Considering how the entity of Pyramid Head is based on executioners who previously lived
in the town, it’d make sense if these entities we’re the ghost of said executioners.
Or maybe we can even say it's a reincarnation, or zombie version.
Due to the fact that it can be physically affected by bullets, one thing is for sure,
it feels pain.
Now unlike a lot of the monsters, or creatures we cover on this channel, it seems Pyramid
Head can be stopped.
Maybe shoot him a bunch.
Maybe burn him.
In the film he doesn’t die, he just tries to kill and upon a failed attempt and getting
shot, retreats.
In the second film, Pyramid Head is actually seen as a guardian angel, protecting Sharon
from the horrors of Silent Hill.
So maybe they’re not so bad after all.
No they still seem pretty ruthless.
Now I know we said we’ll be focusing on the film’s version, but we’re going to
talk about the video game version a bit as well.
In the film Pyramid Head doesn’t die.
However in the video game, two Pyramid Heads commit suicide.
This means there isn’t just one, which is consistent with what the film’s director
said about there not being an exclusive version of it.
In the game, Pyramid Head is a manifestation specifically stemming from James’ guilt.
Meaning it’s not just a creature or monster that is always in Silent Hill, but rather
was created and manifested by James’ psyche.
Now as you can see, Pyramid Head, or Red Pyramid, have some consistencies, as well as some differences
when comparing the film and video game’s version.
One thing is for sure, if these things were real, they’d be absolutely terrifying.
Now the good news is, it seems like they’re killable.
How exactly we’d kill them isn’t the most clear, maybe some trial and error, but we
know it can be done.
So if they were in fact real, well it wouldn’t mean the end of the human race.
Instead it would just be a very big problem we’d have to deal with, and try to understand.
In the video game Silent Hill is located in Maine, which is on the East coast of the United
States.
In the film, Silent Hill is located in West Virginia.
If these things were real, there’s no telling where they could pop up.
Although they would be incredibly dangerous and would certainly kill the first few people
it stumbled upon, Pyramid Head would most likely be apprehended by a few gun shots.
Which means local police enforcement should be able to take this thing down.
However, upon discovery, I have no doubt the military would be brought in.
Now again, I think the military, or even swat could take this thing down.
The issue isn’t so much taking it down, but figuring out what it is, where it came
from, what makes it thrive.
In the film it appears to have bled.
So is this thing part human?
Unfortunately there is no clear concise answer, and we’d need to hold them captive to understand
them.
Similar to videos regarding dangerous SCP’s, Pyramid Head, or Red Pyramid, would be responsible
for countless casualties.
Those trying to apprehend it, those trying to study it, and those who find themselves
unfortunate enough to be the first to discover it, would all fall victim.
Now the good news here is that they wouldn’t take over the world.
They may be all over the world, but they wouldn’t destroy the human race or make us their slaves.
We’d just have to adapt and find ways to kill them quickly.
We’d also need to find the root of where they came from, and if or how they reproduce.
So to wrap up, if Pyramid Head were real, people would definitely die.
More specifically, those who first stumble upon them, the first responders who try to
apprehend it, and those who are brave enough to try and study them.
We may even come up with a specific task force specifically for taking Pyramid Head down.
If you see a Pyramid Head, please call this number immediately.
Who knows how we’d handle it.
One thing is for sure, if Pyramid Head were real, I’d move to a remote island, because
I doubt they’re good swimmers.
Now as always I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
If Pyramid Heads were real, how do you think we’d be able to handle them?
Let me know below, for now let’s reply to some comments from the video What If The Mammon
Demon Was Real?
Demi said Mammon looks like Hellboy before he had his horns cut.
Mada Masters said I'm sick so i read that as "What if the Matt Damon was real?"
Modern Catholic said Finally a religious video where you guys actually talk about the subject
objectively instead of being passive aggressive by making sarcastic comments/major assumptions.
